Such recalls are not uncommon in Germany. According to the foodwatch report, which analyzed various recall campaigns in recent months, on average at least two foods are recalled per week. The reason is often contamination with dangerous bacteria or foreign bodies such as glass and plastic. The population often finds out about these recalls late because all available communication channels are rarely used.
Manufacturers are responsible when it comes to issuing warnings, which often leads to conflicts of interest. The current yogurt situation is a frightening example of how important it is for companies to communicate properly and for consumers to remain well informed.
How to proceed now?
Anyone who has affected yogurt should return it immediately. The purchase price will definitely be refunded. Please note that only yogurt jars purchased by July 19, 2025 are affected by this recall. Stay vigilant and follow future recall notices to protect your health and that of your family.
